Topic: Chumby server down? Impossible to manage channels

I bought my chumby only yesterday and while the device is cute and fun I am somewhat disappointed about the website that's needed to control and configure it. It's seems that it often does not function properly. I am thus unable to add or remove widgets, which is of course the first thing one wants to do, after setting up a new chumby.

When I e.g. go to the chumby dashboard, select the my chumby and the channel and then click on "Manage channel" I always only get "Sorry, this page is not available". What's wrong here???

If I try to delete a widget on the chumby itself then after a while I always get "There seems to be a network problem when attempting to delete this app". But of course my chumby DOES have connectivity (it displays e.g. news and a webcam's image without problem).

I guess both errors stem from some server at chumby industries not working or responding as expected. Hope they get this fixed soon...

I am having the same issue on my Chumby One. I have owned the Chumby 6 months and today it just started having the same symptoms, that you are having. I can not connect to the chumby dash area on Chumby.com either.

Hi - I just noticed that there was another thread on this issue (Chumby web site issues by pepperm) and in it cmastro mentions that this may be a cookie/authorization issue and suggests to simply log out (to get the cookie cleared) and then back in again and - indeed - this fixed my issue.
